When the bell is struck aminiature rat runs across the breast of the wearer and stops in full view of the victim. To makesit more ef- fective the word ssrats, " in white letters rat. The Examiner decided that the word ''rats" was not patentable, but the other features of the invention were favorably Acted upon.

IE CHANGED HIS MIND


Woodland, like Sacramento, is talking
about an electric street railway. The
Woodland Democrat of yesterday, speaking
upon this matter, says: "The projectors
of the street railway seem to be in a
dilemma. 1t was stipulated in the fran
chise granting the right to run street rail-
way on certain streets in Woodland that
it should be commenced within thirty
days. Not until this late day was it dis
covered that the State law enumerates the
only kinds of motive power by which street
cars can be propelled. AS the motive
power of electricity was not known at the
time the law was framed, that kind of
motive power was excluded from
the list, and now it Is held that
the only way it can be made
permissible is through a special act of the
Legislature. As the Legislature will not
convene within year it will, therefore, be
impossible for the movers in the railway
scheme to meet the stipulation in the fran
chise. George ii. Happs and f. NJ. Deeds,
the owners of the new motor, met with the
projectors of the street railway at Coward's s
office last night, and it is understood that
their proposition to furnish the motor was
satisfactory. But when the hitch in the
law was discovered this morning there was
small volcano in camp. Another meet
ing was held this afternoon, but the result
OF the conference is unknown"

PITrsBURe, October 18th, Detroit won
the fourth game of the worlds champion

HUMAN HIGHT.-From archaeological
evidence, an English writer contends that
the human race is growing taller, the in
crease in average stature appearing to be
about an inch and quarter in each 1000
years. Measurements of old armor show
decided increase in the hight of the
English aristocracy within 500 years. An
cient coffins found in Great Britain indi-
cate that the Romans could not have
greatly exceeded five feet five inches in
average stature. Twenty-Five Egyptian
mummies give an average of sixty-one
inches for males and fifty-ive inches for
females. The mummy of Cleopatra meas
ures about fifty -four inches, and the most
ancient known mummy of an Egyptian
king is only fifty-two inches long.

launched at Barrow, Eng, few days ago.
She is named the Hainant, and is full rig

1850 tons, and her carrying capacity

petroleum is carried. is divided into
ten different compartments, and the
ship has fifteen water-tight compartments.

NEW York, October 13th.-[Special.
United States District Attorney Walker

FRENZIED REDSKINS.
Exciting Scenes During the Trouble 8
the Grow Ageucy

Exciting Scenes During the Trouble at
the Grow Agency,
WASHINGTON, October 13th.-Secretary
Lamar received this evening from Special
Agent Howard telegraphic report on the
situation at the Crow Agency, in Montana.
where trouble was begun last month. The
report, which is lengthy, virtually confirms
the first dispatches about the trouble, which
was lnaugurated by young buck "medi-
cine man" and about fifteen or sixteen of
his followers, who, ON the evening of Sep.
tember 3Oth, when preparations were in
progress peacefully for the issuing of rations
on the following day, rode through the
Agency in full war-paint and feathers, fir
ing into the roofs of all the houses, and
acting in very insulting manner.
Special Agent Howard thinks that Agent
Williams acted very wisely in not attempt
ing to arrest them with the Indian police
force, as 1t would have engendered blood
shed, and perhaps general massacre.
REDSKINS sPoILING FOR FIGHT.
Two troops of cavalry arrived on the
ground about 10 o'clock P. NJ, with orders
to protect the employees and property.
After the arrival of the troops the "medi-
cine man and his followers continued to
make hostile demonstrations, and sent
word to the troops that they were ready for
them, at the same time removing all their
squaws, old men and children from their
teepees to the opposite side of the river.
After the troops had gone into camp the
defiant gang of Indians went to the Traders
store and demanded ammunition, which
was of course refused. They then fred
into the store, and the Trader, his wife and
clerks had to barricade the windows with
bales of blankets to protect themselves.
The gang kept up their shooting all night,
OPENLY DEFYIYe THE TROOPS,
And making the night hideous with their
yells. In the morning two more troops of
cavalry arrived, and for five or six hours
this gang and some sixty or seventy follow
ers, stationed on the top of the hill over
looking the Agency, dared and defied the
soldiers to come up and take them.
INoITING THE TRIBE TO VIOLENCE.
In the evening they disappeared, and
have been planting the seeds of discord
among the whole Crow tribe ever since.
These Indians have not only stolen horses
from the Piegans, but from white settlers.
The medicine man" is very bad Indian,
and if he and his followers are not arrested
all the progress these Indians have made
will be lost for years to come, and the
whole Crow nation completely demoralized.
The longer their arrest is put off the more
danger is to be feared

Charged with Swindling.
ICopyoat, 1887. By fts California Associated Pyess
Los ANGELES, October 3th.-Prior to last
December Mrs. Margaret Knight was the
owner of ten acres of. very valuable land in
the city of Tustin, and she was also the
possessor of unlimited confidence in
certain real estate dealer in this city named
Charles Haskell. Desiring to go East in
December last, she gave Haskell authority
to sell the property, and she also placed in
his hands power of attorney to sign the
deed for the land in her name. In due
time Mrs. Knight returned, and was in
formed by Haskell that he had sold the
Tustin property for 5000, which amount,
after deducting the usual commissions, he
turned over to her.
So far, things went smoothly until there
was tried in the Superior Court case of
Haskelrs, in which, it is stated, evidence
was developed that Haskell had sold the
property for 5000, instead of $5,OO0 and
that he had kept back ST. 900. Mrs. Knight,
becoming aware of this, sought in vain to
recover the amount, and as a last resort
swore out complaint yesterday, charging
Haskell with embezzlement. A warrant
was at once issued and placed in the hands
of the officers, but the man had not been
arrested last night, being absent from the
city.
